been going through the motions of work, eat, sleep, and cuddles.
every day the sun sets a little later, my heart drops just a little - can't actually stand the thought of summer being just around the corner, despite all the wonderful summery dresses i have ordered walking into the agency. in the meantime, just enjoying the in-between weather of knit on-knit off and loving the fact that i can give the pants and tights a rest, even if it does involve tripping on my own feet not once but twice, and landing on the same freaking knee. pretty sure you can see my war scars on the pictures above as i always forget to photoshop the bruises. oh wells, so if life and ce'st la vie!

Finally ordered my new Karen Walkers and Helter Skelter should be here any day now. FINALLY.
why is it that time seems to go so slowly when you are waiting for a shopbop delivery to arrive?
oh, and i have worn this skirt to death, how is it that pleats go with just everything? and the length is perfect, i am not joking when i say i am over the short and totally embracing the awkward just above the knees hemline. my mother would be so proud.

still storming in little WA, but the pockets of sunshine each day feels a little like San Francisco - sunny with a cold wind - just the way i like it.
it's hard to mind the freezing temperatures, especially with this amazing knit cardigan. yes, it is as warm as it looks, and even more amazing in person. it also pretty much solves all "it's freezing what do i wear over this?" problems as it's always intentionally or unintentionally what i reach for before i leave the house every morning. such a no-brainer, and the maroon colour reminds me of red wine, which make me go "mmmm" and can only bring good thoughts on a blustery day.

stay dry, lovies, and hope you have someone or something to cuddle up to to keep warm!
